Seahawks NT Brandon Mebane's roster spot appears to be secure.

There was some light chatter that Mebane would be cut this offseason due to his $5.5 million salary and coming off hamstring surgery. But Seattle will keep its interior run-plugger for the final year of his contract. Mebane is expected to be ready for the start of training camp after sitting out much of the spring. Jul 1 - 8:39 AM

"I don't know what that timeline is for him to be back to full speed, but he's way ahead of schedule," coach Pete Carroll said. "He's looking great." Five months removed from surgery, Mebane is expected to be ready for training camp. May 8 - 8:42 PM

Mebane tore his hamstring in early November, and required surgery. Now 30, Mebane is due $5.5 million in 2015. That's a steep price for a rotational run plugger who just missed half a season, though Mebane was among the league's better defensive tackles in 2013. Jan 27 - 3:48 PM

TE Rashaun Allen was signed off the Vikings' practice squad in a corresponding roster move. Mebane tore his hamstring on Sunday against the Giants. A part-time player who features against the run, Mebane turns 30 in January. He's due $5.5 million in 2015. It's quite possible the Seahawks will ask him to take a pay-cut.

Although Turbin sat out the entire offseason program, he was always expected to be ready for training camp. It's unclear if Blount is reporting new information or simply expressing concern due to the missed OTA time. Turbin, the heavy favorite for passing-down snaps behind Marshawn Lynch, is entering a contract year. If Turbin's health is truly a concern, whispers of Christine Michael losing his roster spot won't amount to much.

Although coach Pete Carroll stated in the middle of the month that Richardson could return "early in training camp," the 2014 second-round pick's knee injury was known to be severe, and was suffered in January. Richardson is unlikely to be a factor for the Seahawks early in his sophomore NFL year. Richardson is a prime candidate to stay on the reserve/PUP list into the season.
